Brightcove Player v7.48.1

Brightcove Player 7.48.1 is available for manual update.

No existing players have been auto-updated to this version. Customers eager for a feature or fix that is only available in this version may manually update via the Studio Players JSON Editor or the Player Management API.

Fixes

• [Prism UI] Fix an issue where the play button Shape and Position options had no effect on Prism UI players.
• [Prism UI] Fix an issue where the legacy dock and title_bar settings could prevent Prism UI's title and description from displaying even when the Prism UI show-title and show-description options were enabled. Under Prism UI, title and description visibility is now controlled solely by the prismUi.playerElements settings. The legacy settings are unaffected for players using the default skin, and resume their normal effect if Prism UI is turned off.

Play button shape and position

The big play button supports a shape — circle (the default), square, or rectangle — and a position — center (the default), topLeft, or topRight — in any combination. These options can be set from the Styling section of the Players module in Studio, or directly in the player configuration JSON:

{
  "prismUi": {
    "enabled": true,
    "playerElements": {
      "playButton": {
        "shape": "square",
        "position": "topRight"
      }
    }
  }
}

When the play button is placed in a corner, the title and description remain visible — unlike the default skin, Prism UI does not need to hide them to make room. See the Prism UI documentation for details.
